Letter from Gen. Buokner.

LOUISVILLE, April %, 'S7.
MY DEAR Sir:
Permit me TO hank you sincerely,
and through you my friends in your
county, for the gallant fight they have
made in my behalf. To them l must
accord the credit which shows such
unanimity of feeling in the Democra-
cy of our State as the recent contest
in the Governors race has proven.
Now the battle must come between
ourselves, the Democratic party, and
the enemy, the Republican party. 1t
behooves us, one aud all, to see that
their boast of reducing our majority
is not made good. What we have
just passed through must not be re-
garded as fight, but only as a con-
test in the family and with friends.
We must now look to the real battle
and do everything that is honorable
to bring out every Democratic vote
in the State and see that our party
vote and majority is increased, in
stead of being decreased, as so many
Republicans claim.
Very truly yours,
S. B. BUCKNER.

The Stats Convention,

The Democratic State Convention
assembled at Louisville at noon We'd
nesday and was called TO order by
Col. j. Stoddard johnson, Chairman
of the State Central Committee. Over
seven hundred delegates were present
and Leiderkraniz Hall was crowded
to OVERLOOKING by these and over 1000
spectators. A temporary organiza-
ton was effected by electing Hon.
Sam e. Hill, of Hartford, Chairman,
who appointed the regular commit
tees.
AS soon as Chairman Hill finished
his speech Hon. j. A. Mckenzie arose
and offered resolution endorsing
Cleveland's administration. Congress
man Taulbee opposed it ina ringing
speech TO which Mckenzie replied,
but the matter was ended without a
vote by referring the paper to the
committee ON resolutions. The COM
mittees retired and while they were
out Mr.. Wattersou, Senator Black
burn, Col. Breckenridge, Dr. Standi-
ford, Green Smith, of Indiana, and
others made speeches.
The convention was permanently
organized by electing Hon. Jno. G..
Carlisle chairman, who delivered an
address of considerable length. A
night session was held and after the
nominating speeches placing the can
didates for Governor before the con-
yention had all been made, Messrs.
Harris, Holt and Berry withdrew in
appropriate speeches and Gen. Buck
ner was nominated by acclama-
ton just before midnight. The
committee on resolutions then
reported and after the platform
had beon read the convention adj
journed till Thursday.
Yesterdays SESSION.
Up to the hour of going to press
nothing had been heard from the re-
suit of yesterdays session, but the
nominations of Bryan for Lieutenant
Governor, Hewitt for Auditor, Tate
for Treasurer and Corbett for Regis
ter were of course made probably
by reclamation. The Attorney Gen.
erals race was still in doubt but the
chances were largely in Hardin's fay
or. There is no telling who was or
will be nominated for Supsrinten-
dent as that race was fearfully mixed.
Our guess is that the opposition to
Pickett will be united on Boring aud
give him the nomination.
NOTES.
A great many prominent men were
on hand.
Mrs. Buckner and young Simon,
Jr., occupied box and a delegate
yelled "iurrah for Betty and the
baby" and brought down the house.
Col. j. Stoddard johnson declined
to allow the use of his name again in
connection with the Craftsmanship OF
the State Committee.
The platform was written by Mr..
,Watterson and Speaker Carlisle.

Watt,s Examination.

MORRIS, ILL.,, Feb. 25.-The prelimi.
nary examination of Newton Watt, foI
the murder and robbery on the Rock
Island Railroad near this place, last
March, was commenced this morning.
The examination was held in the court
house, which was crowded almost to
suffocation. The first witnesses called
were the bank and express company
employees who put up and handled
the money which they turned
over to the Messenger, Kellogg
Nichols, the night of the tragedy.
These witnesses in the testimony traced
the packages, which they described
infinitely, into the keeping of the mes
senger. The packages were four in
number of $40, 900 and three packages
of $500 each. Conductor Wagner went
over the evidence given in the prelimi-
nary trial of Harry Schwartz last
month. He was followed by Conductor
Danford, on whose train Schwartz re-
turned from Davenport the night fol-
lowing the tragedy.

Words i'm the English Language.

BY actual enumeration OF the words
contained in the best dictionaries. il
has been ascertained that 1880 En-.
glish words are of Saxon origion and
20, 354 of classical origion. In conse-
quence of the popular nature of the
Teutonic words in the language, the
Saxon element largely predomiuates in
the works of our greatest writers. The
pronouns, numerals, propositions, con-
functions, and auxiliary verbs, the
names of the elements, and their
changes, of the seasons, the heavenly
bodies. the division of time, the features
of natural scenery. the organs of the
body, the modes of bodily action and
posture, the commonest animals, the
words used in earliest childhood, the
ordinary terms of traffic, the constitu-
ent words in proverbs, the designation
of kindred, the simpler emotions of the
mind, terms of pleasantly. satire. con-
tempt, indi EnatIon. invective, and anger
are for the most part of Saxon origin.
Words indicating more advanced civ
ilization and complex feelings, and most
of the terms employed in art, science.
mental and moral philosophy, are OF
classical origin. The English language,
which is now spoken by nearly one
hundred millions of the earth's inhabi-
ldhtsS Is III us vocabulary one OF the
most heterogeneous that ever existed.
There is, perhaps, no language so full
of words, evidently derived from the
most distant sources. as English. Every
country of the globe seems to have
brought some of its verbal manufactures
to the intellectual market of England;
Latin. Greek, Hebrew, Celtic, Saxon,
Danish, French. Spanish, Italian, Ger
man-nay. even Hindustani, Malay.
and Chinese words are mixed together
in the English dictionary.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within few years, has
astonished the world 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of coughs, colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it
does not dry up cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy con-
dition. A bottle kept in the house for
use when the diseases make their APP
pearance, will save doctors bills and
long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you Of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
dealers in the land. Price 70 cents

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 25.-For the
past two weeks band of five white
itinerant preachers from the north,
three men and two women, calling
themselves Holiness Evangelists, -
have been holding services in the pub
lie streets in this city. In their ha-
rangues they attacked the Catholic
church and reflected on clergymen of
other denominations and slandered the
character of the ladies of Columbia.
Last night a crowd of hundred young
men proceeded to the lodging
place of the Evangelists and
ordered them to leave town
within twelve hours. Upon their re-
fusal the mob grew furious, fastened
a long rope around their necks and
dragged the party, including the wo-
men, around town. The women could
hardly walk from fear and cold. A
great crowd followed crying Lynch
them,n pelting the unfortunates with
all kinds of missiles and subjecting
them to other indignities. The crowd
then led them to the union depot,
where a collection was taken up with
which tickets, as far as Sumpter, were
purchased and they were put on the
train for the north

PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 25.-At Mingo
junction this morning no part of the
mill was working, and no signs of it:
General Secretary William Martin, of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers issued the following
today: In officially declaring the works
open to all Knights of Labor, A. H.
Bailey, of the Executive Board of the
Knights of Labor, has arrogated powers
to himself that belongs to our Society.
The Amalgamated Association has le-
galized the strike, and they alone have
the right to declare the mill open. The
Knights of Labor have no right here.
No man of union principles will come
here to work. We deny the right of
Bailey to interfere. If Powderly under
stood the case he would not permit the
noble order of the Knights of Labor
be made cat's-paw of to wipe out an
organization that has done more to
make the Knights of Labor what they
are than any other distinctive trades

The Rn1Umnn Murder

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 23.-Shortly before
p. m. to-day the hour set for the pre-
liminary examination at Belleville,
Ills, of Geo. w. Voice, the supposed
murderer of Ex-Mayor Bowman of
East st. Louis, another sensation
was added to the case by the arrest of
Policeman Patrick O'Neil of the latter
city on a warrant charging him with
completely in the crime. He was seen
by a reporter soon after the arrest and
said it was great surprise to him not
only because he was innocent but be-
cause he did not even know that he
was suspected of committing the crime.
The preliminary examination of Voice
was then commenced. Christian A
Schmidt said that on the evening OF
the murder he happened to be near the
murdered mans house with compan
ion named Banks and saw the flash o.
revolver and Voice retreating hur
riedly from the scene.
The surgeons at first thought Wilson
had taken poison, but subsequently as
certained he had merely been attacked
with an epileptic fit. Upon arrest h,
and Mrs. Tabb were taken befor,
Magistrate Smith and were committee
for further hearing on Monday next.

some unforeseen contingency arises.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
A question has arisen and was laid
before the president late this afternoon
as to his power to appoint the Inter-
state Commissioners after the adjourn
ment of Senate. 1t is held on one side
that the power conferred by the consti-
tuition to I'LL vacancies which may hap
pen during the vacation of the Senate
does not cover the right to appoint to a
newly created office which is
to be filed by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate. 1t is under
stood that Senators Harris and Pugh
are among the number who so believe.
and that Senator Pugh called upon the
President this afternoon to direct his
attention to the matter. On the other
hand it is argued that a vacancy hap
pens las much by the act of the
Creator, as by the death or resignation
of an incumbent, and there are believed
to be decisions by Attorney Generals
covering the point to the effect that the
President has the power to appoint.
